Sustenance

“Sustenance”, stands for all things that support every phase of life: physical, social, intellectual or spiritual. The source of all gifts is Allah. His bounty is inexhaustible, and He gives to all; but He does not give to all in the same measure, because out of the fullness of His knowledge and wisdom, He can judge best what is best for any of His creatures. 

(The Holy Quran: English Translation of the meanings and Commentary – King Fahd Holy Quran Printing Complex ; 1411 H : Page 1476)

Prosperity vs Adversity

Allah’s gifts are given to all men – to some in a great degree than to others. But it is done according to His wise Plan, for His will is just and looks to the good of all creations.

No one should therefore be puffed up in prosperity or cast down in adversity. Prosperity does not necessarily mean merit on man’s part, nor adversity the reverse. Thinking men bear in mind the large Plan – which is visible in all Allah’s Signs.

Jewels From Al-Quran

Allah has promised to the believers - men and women - Gardens under which rivers flow to dwell in forever, and beautiful mansions in Gardens of 'Adn (Eden Paradise). But the greatest bliss is the Good Pleasure of Allah. That is the supreme success. (Surah At-Taubah: verse 72)

Allah's wisdom transcends all human calculation ...
